The global Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro has appeared for sale in the first Slovak e-shop!

5. February 2024 4 min read 13 comments

The new generation of the fitness bracelet Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro was unveiled in its home country in China last year. Until now, we hadn’t heard any concrete information about the arrival of the global version—something that now changes thanks to our own Slovak e-shop Maldo.sk, which is the first on the market to come with a pre-sale right away!

It hasn’t been unveiled yet, but you can already order it!

Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro is an expanded version of the original Xiaomi Smart Band 8 model, with a larger display and additional innovations. Even though Xiaomi Smart Band 8 has already found its place in Europe, the company has not yet issued an official announcement about the global release of the Pro version.

Now we have confirmation that Xiaomi is planning to launch the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro on the European market, and very soon. The arrival of the new fitness band model is confirmed by our e-shop Maldo.sk, where we’ve listed the band for sale. We’ve already ordered it from our supplier, and the first units are on their way to our warehouse in Košice.

As soon as the goods arrive, you can expect delivery within 1-3 business days. Since the product hasn’t been officially launched yet, it may not be available in the app right away. That’s why it’s necessary to wait until Xiaomi releases an app update and makes the new band connection available.

Xiaomi Planet shopping tip: GShopper has now launched direct bank transfer payments, so you can save another 4.5 % off the product price! Compared to card / Google Pay payment, you can get this product much cheaper. We described the full bank transfer payment process in our article.

Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro BHR8017GL

The global version of the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro has the model code BHR8017GL. In terms of specifications, it hasn’t changed at all versus the Chinese version—and NFC is even included.

💡Addition regarding NFC: The information about having NFC functionality is negated by the official global launch—meaning Band 8 Pro Global does not support NFC payments. So, once again, global customers are left with eyes open for something better.

Here’s a summary of the key specs revealed by the Hungarian online marketplace eMag:

Ad
  • System language: Currently supports only Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and English (more languages must wait for an official Xiaomi firmware update)
  • Ultra-lightweight: a 22,5g band—you can wear it as a bracelet or hang it as a pendant.
  • Battery: 289 mAh battery capacity, up to 16 days (supports fast charging for about 80 minutes)
  • Water resistance: 5 ATM, water resistance up to 50 m.
  • Activity tracking: count steps, distance, burned calories, and other sports modes.
  • Health monitoring: 24-hour pulse monitoring, blood oxygen, sleep monitor, blood pressure monitor, breathing training, women’s health care

  • Data connection: supports GNSS tracking, supports NFC, Bluetooth 5.3
  • New design with quick release: fashionable texture, complex transformation. The Xiaomi band has been upgraded with a new quick-release mechanism that’s not only easy to swap, but also gets rid of the “metal shackles” covering the band and provides the band with greater “material freedom.”
  • System requirements: Android 6.0 and higher, iOS 12 and higher.
